I am using Microsoft Word 2002 and I want to create a template to use when
writing novels. I would like it to be in Times Roman 12 font and be
configured with about 10 words across the line and about 30 lines per page
for maximum readability.

I would also like to know how to number the pages consecutively, but skip
the numer one on page one.

See the article "Creating a Template - The Basics (Part I)" at:

http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...platePart1.htm

and "Creating a Template (Part II)" at:
